[[[[<<<<=>>>>]]]] I have recently become interested in woodwork and started making furniture for myself and friends. So far, I have been staining (Miniwax) and using polyurethane as a varnish which works nice, but I would like to try something else. I have heard about using other materials such as resin varnish, linseed and other oil mixtures,etc. and would appreciate hearing about your opinions on what to use for staining and finishing, advantages and disadvantages of each method, your own favorite (homemade or commercial) stuff and mixtures of stuff for finishing and staining and waxing, etc. Please send your replies by E-mail and if I get a lot of replies, I'll summarize and post. (If this topic was already discussed, could someone please send me the articles? I'm new around here! ) many thanks, -GDS- George Sukenick seismo!cmcl2!rna!rocky2!cucard!ccnysci!sukenick ^ thats a lower case 'L' (Well, it has four legs and a flat surface it so it's a table, right?
